i have no experience with character designs whatsoever, but the taller character's shirt and hair color are kind of hard to differentiate, although it might just be my potato monitor. good luck tho.
( i like the taller girl more)

Guy RathboneHi i thought id try and do a draw over for you I wouldn't say I'm qualified to do draw overs but heres a couple of things

Think about your characters weight and balance the girl on the left can put her leg out to balance herself to keep the really nice hip and shoulder contrast asymmetry is more appealing than symmetry in character design. Hair is also subject to weight and gravity so let it drop down unless its a stylistic decision. last thing would be to give breathing room in the face so... moreHi i thought id try and do a draw over for you I wouldn't say I'm qualified to do draw overs but heres a couple of things

Think about your characters weight and balance the girl on the left can put her leg out to balance herself to keep the really nice hip and shoulder contrast asymmetry is more appealing than symmetry in character design. Hair is also subject to weight and gravity so let it drop down unless its a stylistic decision. last thing would be to give breathing room in the face so that we can see all their features and to follow how anatomically faces are, i.e. the left girl, when you have a big grin on your face like she does it will push the cheeks and if its a big enough smile you'll feel your cheeks push into your eyes a little bit, try pulling the expressions yourself and feel how your face responds to it and translate it into your drawings

Your characters have really nice silhouettes and while i don't know much about colour you clearly get a great idea of what their personalities are like from both the colours and the poses which is really important. Unlike David or Mario, I'm only a student not an industry professional so I've been learning about this stuff as well, I can only really parrot back what I've been taught myself but I hope you find it useful though

Here are some of my thoughts on your designs. hope they're helpful! I think the characters are really interesting and definitely have character. Only suggestions would be to how to get more clarity and dimension in the drawings

these drawings are really nice but to take them to the next level, try getting more of a sense of weight in the figure. Pay attention to the angle of the shoulds in relation to hips. That will usually help you solve the distribution of weight and rhythm throughout the body which will help you get that sense of weight in a figure.

Something I learnt from my design teacher: unify the layout (have a consistent way of setting up your pieces)! Eg. framing, have a personalised logo/ signature, titles for each piece. It will make everything look more cohesive and official.

Mario FurmanczykSo if your sketchbook was good, maybe it's saying something about how you prepare these two different parts of your portfolio. You might be overthinking, over analyzing the portfolio part, which might be why it's not showing that same energy you have in your sketches. Take note of how you're feeling when you're working on your sketchbook and make sure to translate that same effortless, relaxed vibe into your portfolio pieces. Hope that'll do the trick!

It's so easy to lose that spark when we stress about making everything just right. that is the greates thing about sketchbooks. We don't care how it turns out most of the time haha
